Ralph Reed Jesus Christ was not a Birkenstock-wearing socialist

At the Democratic National Committeessummer meetinglast Friday Rev William Barber had a message for conservative Christians

BARBER We must then compel them to acknowledge that the Bible must then promote socialism because Jesus offered free health care to everyone and he never charged a leper a co-pay Applause Its time for us to say that if you want to have a moral debate then bring it on baby

Appearing on Fox News Channels The Ingraham Angle Ralph Reed president of the Faith and Freedom Coalition rejected Pastor Barbers premise

REED Theyre sort of emerging from the shock and the awe and the fog of 2016 where they lost the evangelical vote by 65 points They lost the Catholic vote by 10 points They lost faithful frequently-mass-attending Catholics by 24 points And theyve kind of belatedly realized that if their party kicks voters of faith in the teeth and calls them irredeemable and essentially says theyre deplorables than those people might not be drawn to them

So now theyre struggling for this religious language and this religious connection What we get is this portrayal of Jesus Christ as a Birkenstock-wearing socialist and were told that the Bible is sort of a religious Communist Manifesto

Christians in America know their Bible and they know that the Bible teaches that he who does not work shall not eat

A reference there to 2 Thessalonians 310

Beto ORourke tells voter to face Okay if mother aborted you

Democratic presidential candidate Beto ORourke told a voter to his face Monday that he would be okay with his mother aborting him the day before his birth

ORourke a former congressman from Texas touted his radical pro-abortion platform during a campaign stop at the College of Charleston in South Carolinaaccording to Breitbart

QUESTIONER Someone asked you specifically about third trimester abortions and you said that its a decision left up to the mother So my question is this I was born Sept 8 1989 and I want to know if you think on Sept 7 1989 my life had no value

OROURKE Of course I dont think that And of course Im glad that youre here But you referenced my answer in Ohio and it remains the same This is a decision that neither you nor I nor the United States government should be making Thats a decision for the woman to make Cheering We want t her to have the best possible access to care and medical provider I dont question the decisions that a woman makes Only a woman knows what she knows and I want to trust her with that

Micaiah Bilher of LifeNewscom wrote ORourke tried to have it both ways with his response first by confirming that the mans life is valuable and then by arguing that his mother should have been allowed to abort him up until the day before his birth But the answer cannot be both Either a human beings life is valuable and deserving of protection or it is not

Poland is last pro-life nation in Eastern Europe

After Northern Ireland the last nation in Western Europe toppled to allow killing of babies in their mothers wombs now Poland is the last nation holding out against abortion in Eastern Europe The 1993 pro-life law prohibits abortion except for cases where there is a serious threat to the life or health of the pregnant woman

However a recent survey found that between 25 and 33 of Polish women have had at least one abortion mostly by obtaining the abortion in Germany or the Czech Republic where abortions are freely accessible

Leading party chairman Jaroslaw Kaczynski called on public laws to regulate these matters

He also noted that he was grateful for recent comments from the Polish archbishop who compared the homosexual movement to the former communist domination and noted that the nation was under siege

Fridays ruling rejects a request from 20 some states Planned Parenthood and the American Medical Association to block the Trump pro-life policy regarding the funding The administration put the funding block in place yesterday

Planned Parenthoods newly enconsed president Alexis McGill Johnson has revealed the organization cannot remain in the program given the new pro-life policiesfor federal Title X funding McGill wrote to the court that it is unrealistic to think grants or private donations could make up the difference

However Planned Parenthoods most recent financial reports show a record income of 167 billion with 245 million of excess revenue 563 million coming out of federal and state funding and the remaining 631 million from private contributions

Homosexual presidential candidate thinks hes light of Christ

Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg the 37-year-old homosexual Democratic presidential candidate was raised in one of the countrys most Catholic cities South Bend Indiana home to the University of Notre Dame where his parents were professors reports CNN

Today the active Episcopalian has been condemned by Evangelist Franklin Graham who has challenged him repent for his homosexual behavior

In June 2018 Buttigieg got married to his homosexual husband Chasten Glezman Oddly enough they selected Matthew 513-16 to be read at their ceremony celebrating perversion where Jesus counsels not to hide their lamps beneath a bushel Let your light shine before others that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven

Its difficult to be a light for Christ when you wear your ongoing sexual sin on your sleeve Truth be told Buttigieg and Glezman need to be chastened by more Biblically-centered Christians like Graham

Vischer said The most striking thing about that episode of Arthur wasnt that they thought it was time to introduce kids to homosexual marriage it was the reaction of all the kids on the show None of them asked questions about why two men were getting married Their reaction was Oh OK Great

Its more about what we show as normal rather than explicitly showing something and saying thats wrong Im portraying the positive rather than the negative I do believe that at some point well be forced to figure out how to explicitly address it
